Not what was expected at all, NOT a workbook.

If you think this book has 1,000 actual step by step instructions for each design, be prepared...It does NOT! They don’t even tell you the supplies used or the quantities of each supply, no step by step instructions at all, and not even a simple note saying this design used —- technique. All this book shows are photos and the designers name. That’s ALL! And since this is a “mini” book, the photos are very small. There are 4 photos on every other page, and one full picture picture on the opposite page. The photos do not always show the entire piece either, some are a close up of one portion of the jewelry. The index sorts the photos into random chapters that don’t always match the technique used or the main product used. The large photos are about 5x7 size and the pictures on the 4 photo pages are about wallet size. In all, I’m glad I did not spend $5 on this. When the title said Jewelry Inspiration, I thought it was like another book I had that showed step by step projects. They should have it say, 1,000 Jewelry Photos FOR Inspiration Ideas. THAT would be more accurate.
